For me it is the Auburn Tigers, the best college football team.
Can't wait until camps start and the big media shitheads and social media shitheads cycle through every team and why they're a "dark horse" playoff pick. Late July and Early August are so brutal and frankly gay for /cfb/ discourse.
Big 12 additions be like...
I for one fucking HATE college football
>>142932280cool it
>>142932280bit rude m8
>>142932280L O N D O N
>>142932280and there it is
>>142932280HUGE day
>>142931299Deion does kinda look like a baboon though.Not in a racist way but it is uncanny
>>142931299I'm still sad that Gabriel left but I still wish him well. Hope he gets that Heisman
>>142932280
>this is the meme the schools that left the Pac 12 almost fell for>this is what Arizona State's president thought was brilliant and would be better than the Big 12's ESPN/Fox deal
>>142934366For Apple that's probably pocket change
>>142934399Apple will be fine, but they shelled out 20 billion with the expectation that streaming investment would eventually pay off instead of being a bottomless pit. "Cutting back spending" means they'll start cutting corners on things like marketing, tech support, production values and infrastructure. If the Pac 12 stayed together after losing USC/UCLA and signed with Apple that would have been devastating for their media partner to immediately scale back on streaming just as your contract with them begins.
>>142934449cfb is probably one of the few things they could actually get a return on their investment
If Ohio State fires Ryan Day this season where do you think he goes? The Gators should take him
>>142934449Did Pac 12 have some kind of exclusive streaming deal with Apple or something? Wtf why would you do that?
>>142934627iirc it was proposed by the commissioner as the conference was imploding
>>142931299Reminder that Oklahoma won against Kansas last year. And to prove it, the Sooners should hold off moving to the SEC for one more year to gang rape the Chickenhawks one more time.
>>142934510I'm sure an all streaming deal would be lucrative for both sides with the B1G or the SEC because they have enough fans who would subscribe as well as huge games that would draw in subscribers from outside of their fanbases. But the Pac 12 didn't have that plus streaming probably would have meant fewer late night games since you're not competing for traditional broadcast windows, which was their biggest appeal nationally.>>142934627Last year, shortly before everyone except Oregon State and Washington State left for the ACC/B1G/Big 12, Kliavkoff presented a deal from Apple TV that would have been entirely streaming. It had bonus payouts for hitting certain subscriber amounts and could have reached ACC/Big 12 money with enough subscribers. But the schools were concerned with how viable an all streaming deal was and it turns out they were right to be skeptical.
>>142934714>>142934693>Football boomers didn't want to stream football games on apple's no-name streaming serviceShocking. Millennials couldn't even keep Jon Leibowitz in business on apple tv. How could football have any chance there? >>142934706Pretty sure they lost this game. I remember because I seethed when they chanted "SEC" when we lost it. Fucking KansASS
>>142934780Didn't happen. Drake Stoops caught the game winning touchdown as time expired, and Chickenhawks fans started crying.
>>142934789Based denial fag. I will start doing this too
>>142934808Don't worry. Jalon Daniels is a fragile pansy, and they have no other quarterback and a new offensive coordinator. Watch them fall to 3-9 in 2024.

>>142934515Florida is an upswing program, meaning they hire coaches who are rising in their careers. Day is probably better than Kiffin but if Ole Miss gets into the second round of the playoff this year, Florida probably makes a run at him even if Day is also available. If Lane says no, they probably still don't consider Day because he just got fired, even if it was Ohio State who fired him. It's not rational but it's how pride works.
>>142935018I'll catch a couple of the PAC After Dark games. 10:30PM kickoff on the east coast is great for those of us who are /cfb/ junkies.
>>142936044>Kiffin accepting a job where he won't be viewed as a godhe's the greatest coach Ole Piss has ever had. Why would he leave the paradise of Oxford to be an also-ran in his school's own state?>>142935018>those schedulesthey just can't admit that they're already in the MWC. Just swallow your pride and accept the fact that no conference wanted you
>>142933234
>>142935018I liked PAC12 after dark games so count me in, anon
>>142937273The Mountain West is throwing minor hissy fits trying to force WOSU to make a decision now but they'll wait until the last moment looking for a P4 invite to come from somewhere. Everyone knows that if the PAC02 wait until the very last second, the Mountain West isn't going to reject them, regardless of what they say while whining that WOSU won't make a decision now. As a result, there's no pressure for them to make a move yet.Because Oxford is a nowhere nothing town and Ole Miss has a much lower resource ceiling than Florida, which will become increasingly important in the pay-for-play era. If Lane just wanted to be seen as a local god, he never would have left Florida Atlantic.
>>142937273I'd still put Freeze over Kiffin. Kiffin has yet to win a game he wasn't supposed to win at Ole Miss compared to Freeze knocking off Bama a couple times. Kiffin has the chance to pass Freeze but he has to win some big games first.
>>142937989LOL at the barner thinking he bought a diamond for cheap when what he really got was cubic zirconium.

I have bought too much into presearon hype, tell me everything wrong with my irish : ) to bring me back down to earth. I will repeat the favor the best I can if you tell me your team.
>>142939767>refused to play integrated teamsmeme wins and meme championships
>>142935195
>>142939863>>142939863All the best teams in 1962 were segregated. And Freeze and Kiffin don’t even have meme championships.
>>142940079but they refused to play teams that were integrated (ie yankee teams)also>national championship voted on by journos
>>142939860I haven’t really followed much of the preseason hype at all. All I know is that our teams will play each other for their first game of the season :)
>>142940079>All the best teams in 1962 were segregated>No.1 USC and No. 2 Wisconsin were integrated at the timedixie education
>>142939863>>142940079Segregation aside, modern accomplishments are still more impressive than boomer era accomplishments because the job is a lot harder>scholarship limits, you can't have a yuge roster of 150+ scholarship players solely to deprive the competition of talent>shorter timeline to succeed, unless you were terrible you used to get at least 5 years to show you can build a winner but now you only get 2-3 years (with that same short leash Vaught would have been fired before his best years, in his first 5 years he went 9-2/8-1/4-5-1/5-5/6-3-1, today in the SEC if you do great years 1 and 2 then flirt with .500 years 3-5 you're fired)>have to know how to manage the portal and NIL now>longer seasons>now you have to win multiple playoff games to earn a natty, until 1965 (AP) and 1974 (Coaches Poll) the natty was voted on before the bowls were even playedThese changes that make coaching harder today outweigh changes that make coaching easier (players arriving to college much more developed and ready to contribute early nowadays, quicker/better injury treatment, far more information available when scouting recruits)
>>142934515>The Gators should take himIf they were smart, they'd beg on their hands and knees for Mullen to come back. UF has literally only ever been relevant when they've had a scheme autist head coach. Napier is going to be fired this year and they'll restart the same process that's been repeating since Spurrier left in 01. Also, Ryan Day is whiter than bread. They would never hire him.
>>142937273>Just swallow your pride and accept the fact that no conference wanted you*No good conference wants you>>142937821MWC sees the writing on the wall. The Pac-2 is going to absorb whoever they want from the MWC as an attempt to ditch the likes of Wyoming and Hawaii (maybe others). WSU+OSU are going to do the same thing to the MWC that the Pac-12 just did to them: leave behind the programs they don't want to play anymore.If I'm Utah State and New Mexico, I'm praying that our basketball success is enough for the Pac-2 to care.
>>142940138>>142940269The teams filled with blacks sucked that year. USC (3 nogs) and Wisconsin (5 nogs) were the most “integrated” and both were over 90% white. Ole Miss had the best body of work in 1962.>national championship voted on by journosCheck again.
>>142941001>national championship determined by some autistic formula decades after the factAn even bigger meme than journalist national championships
>>142940406Which accomplishments are you talking about? A sugar bowl win? Vaught has 5 of those. An AP top 10 finish? Vaught did that 10 times. Unless you’re just gonna say every head coach today is greater than every head coach in the 60s because muh era, no, Freeze was not greater than Vaught.
>>142941045Still more championships than Freeze and Kiffin have at Ole Miss, zoomie.
>>142941001>seething pississippianI'm surprised you had the internet connection available to post
Paul is live
>>142940245AGGIES MORE LIKE FAGGIES LOL!Honestly I expect the game to come down to whos players keep there cool and dont have stupid turnovers or penalties more so then some of the other big match ups(i expect there to be many laughs at both our expense that day), which makes feel good about our veteran laden roster. Although Elko isnt a slouch or a stranger to Texas AM or ND, and I really dont know what the potiental is on the roster. Also I think there is way too much emphasis from fans on the game from our side cuz muh prove SEC bias wrong and we dont have a big matchup to be excited about again till FSU. Could see it being a really physical low scoring game
>>142940704No doubt 2PAC wants to cherry pick the best of the Mountain West and perhaps some other G5 conferences too but in order to get the Mountain West to fill out the 2PAC schedule, they had to agree to either take everyone or pay some high penalties for leaving shitters behind. They don't want the 2PAC to do to them what happened to the 2PAC. Doubt they want to ditch Wyoming. Pic related is a Wall Street Journal estimate of the value of MWC programs though the data is a bit old the order should still be roughly correct.Here's the fee schedule for raiding the Mountain West but not taking every single member:Accepting MW Member Institution #1: $10,000,000 ($10,000,000 aggregate)Accepting MW Member Institution #2: $10,500,000 ($20,500,000 aggregate)Accepting MW Member Institution #3: $11,000,000 ($31,500,000 aggregate)Accepting MW Member Institution #4: $11,500,000 ($43,000,000 aggregate)Accepting MW Member Institution #5: $12,000,000 ($55,000,000 aggregate)Accepting MW Member Institution #6: $12,500,000 ($67,500,000 aggregate)Accepting MW Member Institution #7: $13,000,000 ($80,500,000 aggregate)Accepting MW Member Institution #8: $13,500,000 ($94,000,000 aggregate)Accepting MW Member Institution #9: $14,000,000 ($108,000,000 aggregate)Accepting MW Member Institution #10: $14,500,000 ($122,500,000 aggregate)Accepting MW Member Institution #11: $15,000,000 ($137,500,000 aggregate)On top of this, the MWC schools would each owe $18 million to the conference, or $36 million if they gave less than a year's notice. If you're Nevada, maybe you hope you do get left behind to collect a $533 million windfall as the only remaining member of the conference.This assumes the schools leave when the current GOR ends after next season so there will be no GOR issues.

>>142941750w-w-what happens if I don't call...?
>>142941109Forget it man, it's an aubie unable to admit their school fucked up once again in hiring a coach. He wants Freeze to be Auburn's Saban when he's going to be their Bret Bielema.
>>142941802He sends Phillis to your house.
>>142941836Freeze is still Auburn’s best hire ever. Seriously look it up, that’s more of an indictment of who Auburn has managed to attract instead of praise of Freeze’s.>>142941141I’ve only been to Mississippi twice, I just know who their best coach is.
>>142941774A thread or two back there was an anon who said the PAC12 already found a fix for this in that they would invite the entire Mountain West into the conference but have conference rules that automatically expel members who don't meet attendance and viewership numbers. Schools got good at manipulating "attendance" numbers by buying up their own tickets or having boosters do it and counting those tickets, used or not, as attendance. Viewership would be much more difficult to fake since it is calculated by third parties for the advertising industry accustomed to content providers trying to fake their numbers. The bottom four plus Hawaii are probably doomed. They probably find a way to not fuck over Air Force as it's a bad look to screw with any of the service academies but USU, New Mexico, and the Nevada schools probably eventually end up in CUSA.This all assumes the two PAC12 leftovers don't find a way into the Big XII or maybe even the ACC somehow.
If those four (or five if Hawaii still has a team) did end up getting kicked out, instead of joining Conference USA, they could poach UTEP and New Mexico State and maybe get Utah Tech and/or Southern Utah to move up? That would be a nice little regional conference. The MAC of the West.
How many this year?
>>142941770also Leonard Riley and Elko are familiar with each other from Duke but I’m not sure how much of an impact if any it will have on the game.
I am going to mississippi to see the vicksburg battle site later this year
How the fook is Tittman still the head coach of Arkansas? What are we doing here? Urban needs a job. Why won't Jerry Jones, Walmart, or Tyson Foods do something?

>>142943069They are waiting for FSU drama to end to see if cal and stanford can come back. Without clempsus and FSU plus ND affiliation its ogre. ponies need to get it together fast with NIL and make the playoffs so they have prestige.
>>142943066>Pittman @ Pitt StateEven weirder than that is the kid in the second panel 'Chad Plowman'. Sounds like the name of a gay porn star.If Arkansas has a bad season and lets Pittman go, would they be interested in Gus Malzahn? UCF had a meh season last year but as good run this year could put him on their radar as they tried to hire him away from Auburn back in 2017.

>>142937273>they just can't admit that they're already in the MWC. Just swallow your pride and accept the fact that no conference wanted youIronically BYU had tougher schedules than this after leaving the MWC and going independent

>>142942699They can get NMSU, UTEP, and go into FCS especially Big Sky if they can get a cohortThey'll all be fine, even Hawaii will find a conference to stay at. It's just going to suck for their pride to be relegated from fucking Mountain West but that's how it goes and they'll find footing
>>142944582It’ll never die because the “myth” wasn’t really a myth until relatively recently. Now that it is entering into mythic territory, the people who believe take full control of the narrative. That’s the problem with myths, they can’t really be controlled by anyone or any sort of directed effort. They’re controlled by believers and belief tends to only work as directed if ignorance is enforced. The people trying to stamp out the myth cannot enforce ignorance since ignorance can’t be enforced in the Information Age, we can trace slave ship ownership and investment to jewish interests and northern demands, there’s too much out there to scrub and the cat is out of the bag anyway. Slavery wasn’t even outlawed in the north until the war was already won. Even then, there was a ton of pushback and many politicians were removed over the ordeal. The most dangerous thing a man can become is a myth.
Did Michigan really hire their head coach because he went viral crying about how much he loves Harbaugh?
Why do Notre Dame fans get the best pussy?
>>142943170A bit more then that, they are also hoping to immediately take FSU + Clempus' spot if they get out for ACC if Big 12 says no, or if ACC somehow manages to convince some of UCF/WVU/Cincy to move over, or even some of the ACC to Big 12If you have to pick G5 schools now, like it or not OSU and WSU are the biggest of the remaining ones even over UConn. They are borderline P4 territory, and in better years where television money still allowed for indefinite expansion and schools like UCF, Cincy, Houston weren't picked up OSU and WSU would have already. If ACC stared losing schools they'd actually consider the two

>>142944737It’s been a myth since it became embarrassing for one side of the country to realize they fought and lost a war to keep people enslaved, so they retconned other reasons like “taxes” and “tariffs.” The Jewish slave trade is another myth btw.
>>142944845nigga why
>>142942841>finally has a QB that can throw checkdownsI'd say at least 7 wins. They'll be bowl eligible. If Rhule can get some speed on the perimeter, they could compete for the Big 10 in the next few seasons.
>>142942841all things considered they got a favorable schedule to make a bowl, which means they will go 2-10

>>142945218If I could go back in time, I would play rugby instead of football. Maybe I wouldn’t have had six surgeries on my knees and hips and four before I was 30. Rugby concepts won’t work until the “science” shows that less padding and plastic and steel results in less serious injury.
>>142945294>Maybe I wouldn’t have had six surgeries on my knees and hips and four before I was 30.Do you regret playing?>t. middle school dyel that never considered it
>>142945218the hook and ladder is a well known trick play sadly.
>>142945357Not really, since I had a high school sweetheart who cheated on her husband with me and I learned sophomore year that I wasn’t as awkward and ugly as I thought I was. These days, the majority of men think lesser of themselves than they should. I may think greater of myself than I should, but if I have the desire to take someone home I can do so easily. But also when I wake up and I can barely walk and my surgeon says the replacements are coming soon and I look at other people eating…I think “well, it would be nice if I could eat processed slop and it would be nice to stand up without hurting.” But they’re also with ugly fucks.

>>142946864Stanford is elite at Olympic sports because they are ideal fits for their student body. Those are played by either rich kids or kids who know they're going pro in something other than sports. They get plenty of donor/alumni support because their alumni like bragging about how many Olympic medals are won by Stanford athletes. They also don't have much competition for some of the sports they play.If you're good enough to be an Olympian in a sport that doesn't offer much in the way of a career you should get a Stanford degree instead of a Meme State University degree because the Stanford degree will open doors an Arizona State or TCU degree will not. Conversely, if you're a football or basketball player with pro potential your career path might be enhanced enough at a 90% acceptance rate school to make it worth passing up Stanford.
>>142946864>why do they kick ass at so many other sportsstanford is full of kids whose parents pay for private fencing lessons or niche shit like that so they can pad their application.
how much of a shitshow will this cfb season be?
>>142947383it's probably going to be a smooth season. There's going to be like 30 schools thinking they can get into the playoffs. It will be kino.
>>142947323>>142947352My confusion here is that surely a Stanford degree is hard as fuck to get? So not only do you have to be elite at some meme sport, you also have to be upper upper crust academically. Seems strange to me there would be a ton of overlap there. If I were good at rowing I still wouldn't want to go to Stanford because I wouldn't be smart enough.

>>142943133I love Charleston, great fucking town.
End all bowls that aren't part of the playoff and grant all programs the ability to schedule one post-season game. Just like regular season OOC games, let the schools themselves decide who they're going to play, the contract terms, who hosts, etc. >But then teams with losing records will have gamesCollege football is really weird in that it has a built in mechanism to discourage parity by restricting teams with the worst records from getting extra practice and an extra game of experience each year. I understand how it originated in the days when there were only a handful of bowls and even top twenty-five teams missed out on the post-season but we don't travel primarily by stream locomotive anymore so why keep in place a restriction from that era? >It's a reward for a winning season!A 6-6 CUSA team playing a 7-5 Sun Belt team in some decaying town whose Chamber of Commerce thinks a bowl game will magically bring industry back is not much of a reward. Letting non-playoff teams, including those with losing records, to set their own post-season game would be much more of a reward than playing someplace like Shreveport.

After bitter fighting, the Confederates were victorious. During the surrender negotiations, the Union officer accused the Texans of murdering several captured African American soldiers. Ross claimed two of his men had likewise been killed after surrendering to Union troops.[63]
>>142954916Not sure how you got the complete opposite out of what I wrote unless you work for a bowl committee as what my post advocated for would be about double as many post-season games as we get now. I'll assume you were drunk or a Middle Tennessee graduate rather than trolling.
>>142955591>week 0My autism makes me absolutely hate calling it week zero. It's week one, even if only a small number of games are on during that week. Which also brings up the question of what day of the week is the break between weeks? Monday games are considered part of the week the just completed weekend was part of. Thursday games are part of the coming weekend's week. But about Tuesday or Wednesday games?

>>142955591I didn’t even realize it was in two days. I find politics is the best current sport so I’ve been focusing on Biden and Kamala.
New roster limits going into effect for the 2025-26 seasons>football 105>men's and women's basketball 15>baseball 34Schools can provide full rides for all of these, eliminating walk ons. They are not required to use them all so you'll likely see P4 schools up at the limit while G5 schools don't go up much from where they are now (85 scholarships). It's a huge win for baseball since they currently only get 11.7 scholarships to divvy up among the whole roster.
>>142958130>they are not required to use them allwhy wouldn't schools just give out the max number of scholarships and eliminate the "walk on" altogether? Is it to save money?
>>142958180Pretty much, which is why I said the schools with money will use them all while the poorfags won't. But there are more costs than just the additional football scholarships. More men's scholarships mean they'll need to give out more women's scholarships too thanks to Title IX so that also has to be factored into it.
>>142958009Ivy League schools other than Princeton all hold that their grade inflation is reasonable because a person who attends an Ivy League school "shouldn't be punished for being successful", meaning if you would earn an 'A' in Calc I at the University of Alabama, that level of knowledge should also earn you an 'A' for the same course at an Ivy League school. To do otherwise would effectively punish the student for being able to make it into the better school. They claim because their student body is made up of better students than a school like Alabama, that's why it's reasonable for 2/3rds of grades issued to be 'A' while the grade distribution at public schools like Alabama is more even.You can find a lot of articles on the subject but here are some starting points.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/grade-inflation-colleges-with-the-easiest-and-hardest-grades/https://www.gradeinflation.com/
>>142958130>upping roster numbers and scholarship limitsWhat's the NCAA's endgame? Is competition to compete at the collegiate level dying?
>>142958236And since many schools are approaching a 2:1 female:male sex ratio, Title IX requires athletic scholarships to reflect that. 85 scholarships for football means 170 offsetting scholarships for women. Now that baseball has upped their limit to 34, some schools will have to give out 68 offsetting scholarships for women. For less wealthy schools, it's easier to just drop some male sports or not use all the scholarships up to the limit rather than pay out two female scholarships for each male scholarship. There's also a new requirement that all FBS schools fund at least eight sports for women, so it's not like anyone can just pare back to football and basketball. You must have eight women's sports at the very least. We'll see how much the crumbs from the CFP are worth to the G5 bottom dwellers, along with cupcake money, but don't be surprised if some schools take the Idaho route and step back to FCS. There's less cupcake and CFP money but the scholarship limits and program minimums are lower too.
>>142958283This was a request from the autonomy conferences so the NCAA's motivation probably is to keep them from breaking away.
>>142958439didn't know that Title IX took gener ratio enrollment into account with its athletic scholarship policies. I imagine alot of those smaller FCS schools that have blown past the 2:1 female:male ratios over the last decade may just drop to D3 or drop sports period
>>142958537Some of those schools are in a rough spot because young men simply aren't attending universities in the numbers they used to, which is part of the reason why the ratio is getting so lopsided. Administrators know that guys like sports so they think by expanding their sports programs and moving them to high levels of competition, it will attract more male students. That becomes costly though when each male athlete has to carry on his back two female athletes. Also it's somewhat questionable how much young men today are into the tradition sports universities sponsor. Young men see university degrees as a poor value proposition. Since administrators won't cut tuition or fees, they can't address that issue. They also see the curriculum as being anti-male. Administrators and faculty are also unwilling to do anything about that. Same for conduct requirements and the system of student/faculty courts schools have for dealing with complains against male students. Adding sports is about the only thing administrators are willing to do to try to get male students back but if you're not a top school in athletics, it quickly can become a quite large fiscal drain on the budget.
>>142958537>>142959100University of Hartford went through this exact problem a couple years ago>gender ratio is 57:43 F:M>Enrollment: 3,844https://www.si.com/college/2021/05/07/hartford-hawks-athletics-drop-division-iii-ncaa
Big Ten confirms they will produce a new version of the 'Map' commercial with all the new schools added. The now outdated version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TILStesGd4g
>>142959398That's across the board. Every single big school was celebrating having more women than ever before each year and having the highest percentage of female students than ever before until one day they quietly stopped bragging about it. A few universities are back to being male-majority, but not many.
>>142958255Again, you’re referring to grade ratios, not how difficult getting that grade is. Just clicking your link, do you really think it’s easier to get an A at Southern Polytechnic State University than Georgia Tech? Of course not, but a higher ratio of students may get an A a GT.
>>142959716I believe what Ivy League presidents have said on the matter rather than the emotional whining of some easily impressed kid on a Swedish Meatball Recipe forum.
>>142959713>until one day they quietly stopped bragging about itoutside of the top 20-30 schools in the US, affirmative action unironically benefited men. Administrators just never openly said it>a few universities are back to being male-majority, but not manyoutside of tech schools, I can't think of any
>>142959870Ohio State, Texas A&M, Pedo State, a few others I can't recall.

Excuse the garbage formatting, but here's a bar chart of all the public FBS athletic department budgets in descending order. (Note: 2022-23 fiscal year, new conference alignments, PAC-2 on both charts for reference)Insights:>Ohio State is by far the most well-funded athletic department. Might change once Texas gets the SEC media money though>Clempus and fugg shit university are budgeted like proper B1G/SEC teams, even though they might not get into either>Washington, the most well-funded public PAC refugee, is only mid in the new hierarchy (and will be lower on half a media share)>Miss St has shit funding in the SEC>OSU/WSU are significantly underfunded compared to the rest of the P4, but are significantly ahead of 99% of the G5>San Diego State and UConn are funded like low-tier P4s already>MAC and CUSA are the poorest conferences, SBC not far aheadKeep in mind that Oregon State's budget is around $90m and Wazzu's $85m (10m less each) for the next two years due to media money shortfalls. This is also data reported prior to the media deal renegotiations, so B1G budgets will spike like 30m+ and B12 budgets will see a marginal 10m+ bump.
>>142966557Funding changes year-over-year and isn't a really good indicator of what is and is not a "wealthy" program. You may not see budgets improve excepting in instances of construction/renovation or coach upkeep.
>>142964362And you'll still watch while screaming you'll never watch again, just like white boomers did with the NFL when blacks started kneeling during the National Anthem. >>142963163BC has its moments but in general they're that girl who was a six in high school that hooked up with chad a couple of times but now is married to an average guy, is middle age, and put on some weight but isn't a ham planet. She makes a bit of effort but not too much. She's ok with that. Her husband is ok with that. You can be content following a school like BC. Maybe once a decade, you'll get to enjoy a significant achievement but you're not going to be basking in reflected glory all season long like a Bama fan. You'll be able to attend the games without much trouble or expense. You could do much worse and its local so might as well do it.
I bought cb25
>>142966557It's interesting that in the P5 the only obvious drop off is between Ohio State and everyone else but I've seen these charts before and Ohio State isn't always first. I'm guessing they had a large one-time expense that's factored into the year covered. Beyond that, the slope is mostly gradual, making a cut-off point difficult. There is a small drop-off and slope increase starting at West Virginia so if you really wanted to toss some programs down into G5land, guess that's where you'd put the dividing line.Things are much clearer over in G5land, with the top four clearly sticking out from the rest but like with Ohio State, some of this could be due to an outlier year. Also spending lots of money on non-revenue sports while starving football is somewhat common at smaller programs so it would be good to see a five year average of football spending. Some in the G5 could also argue that if they were P4 they would be able to spend more and thus would be in-line with those programs. Memphis in particular has claimed for a long time to have significant local money lined up to fund facility upgrades if they got into a P4 conference. Schools like UCF and Cincinnati seem to show that you have to make the leap of faith and spend the money first and then use that to ascend instead of the other way around.
Do we talk about cfb 25 here, or is that verboten? I'm new to it and generally just trying to figure out how to do Dynasty

The commissioner of SoCon (the Southern Conference from which the SEC and ACC were born) has leaked out that the conference commissioners have approved of the P4 being able to form their own division with its own rules and governance. This keeps the P4 conferences within the NCAA but gives them even more autonomy over their affairs.
>>142970609#8 and #10 wouldn’t make a 4 team playoff. Did you ever actually watch the 4 team playoff? It’s between the top 4 teams, hence the name.
>>142968765After undergrad diploma, “wife/girlfriend graduated from there (and is not a rival)” needs to be stuck in. >nobody here has a wife or girlfriendEh, the girl I’m fucking went to Arizona State.
>>142972922Wife is alumni goes between Child graduated and Child dropped out. Girlfriend alumni is above Live in the college community.
>>142968765I'd say you're missing quite a few reasons in your ranking, biggest is being a current student.I'd also include a sibling attending, maybe if a grandparent/other extended family attended, a team that used to win a lot (rooting for Nebraska hoping for them to return to glory), living/lived in the city or near the school (unless that is what's meant by college community), and it's the closest school even if it's another state (for example living in eastern Oregon and rooting for Boise St or living in west N. Carolina and rooting for Clempus/Tennessee).This might fall under 'like some aspect of the school or program not related to winning' but organizational/religious affiliation could be also be included. Stuff like I'm in the Air Force/Navy/Army so I root for that academy, or I'm a Catholic/Mormon/Baptist so I root for Notre Dame(or BC)/BYU/Baylor.
>>142973128In that case, there needs to be more of a flowchart than power rankings.
>>142968765>>142973348I feel like for me its way more consistency then it is reason. If you are a fan, you better ride or die (unless something terrible off field happens like pedo state or something). If you are trailer trash support dem tigas, plastic paddy rooting for the irish, or a resident of the state of ohio, its all good. Just dont switch because they are in a down year/decade. Consistency is better then purity
>>142973348It's not a bad list as a start. I got bored a year or so ago and came up with a much longer list but kept coming up with different edge cases. Ultimately, it really comes down to people who have never completed a class at a university they root for shouldn't talk shit to those who have class credit at that school or a rival school.
>>142973515Excellent chart, anon.
>>142973548Let’s see your list.
What's thr next cope from fandoms that wish Alabama (the main character of CFB) would fall off?
>>142974384Auburn needs to be put down... permanently.
>>142974903Alabama is a poverty state and the wealth of its fans is puny compared to other blue bloods and blue blood wannabes. The era of being able to openly pay for players is the end of Alabama as a major program.
>>142974903will he fix Milroe or will he turn back into a pumpkin, costing bama an important game?

>>142975096>>142975233>black QBs
>>142975069They have the #1 recruiting class for next year and their new head coach has the best w/l ratio in the country. Kalen will be Kirbys, Sarks, and Ryan's new daddy. Cope?
>>142975233i only remember him doing it during that game but its still nuts that he did it twice during the same game lol.
>>142975336Inertia but that won't carry Alabama for very long in this age of free agency. Three years from now Alabama will struggle to keep above .500 as all their good players have been purchased by other schools and transferred out. Husky Harsin will be on his way back to NAIA, which is where 2/3rds of his current win total came from.
>>142975455Head canon shit is wild. Guessing Bama scarred you and your favorite teams asshole in the past.

>>142941774I have no clue what point you're trying to make here. "IF THEY LEAVE NOW THEY HAVE TO PAY $137 MILLION!" no shit, they're just going to wait 2 years and then leave for free when the Grant of Rights expires.There's a reason WSU/OSU only have 4 non-conference games scheduled in 2026 and beyond. They're going to raid the MWC free of charge. Everything is already in place. Now it's just a matter of "do the MWC schools want to do this"
>>142974903Didn't realize CFB was a case where a villain is the main character, interesting.
>>142944967What exactly is your definition of "compete"?It's an 18-team conference and they're nowhere close to a Top-4 program from a coaching or recruiting perspective.
>>142946196He could recruit but he couldn't coach. Bielema will run the program into the ground after winning with Lovie's kids.

>>142976152Chip Kelly left at a bad time to hire a replacement. All the good potential hires were already off the carousel. I'm sure UCLA would have targeted Jedd Fisch if he was still available but he had already accepted the Washington job. Foster was already on staff as Kelly's RB coach so that helped keep portal losses low. UCLA probably looked at is "We can get this guy cheap for a few years and if he sucks the B1G checks will be rolling in by that point so we can swing for the fences with the next hire."
>>142975868the important question: will there be a chance at refunds?
>>142977494No refunds was such a fun meme. I can't believe Michigan State actually got a refund.
>>142977603Him getting caught brought some good memes too.>I was masturbating but it was consensual
>>142977603>tfw your no refunds policy gets voided
>>142976567Have you see him? He's missing a couple of chromosomes or something. As a good Catholic man, Saban probably thinks Heupel is some kind of demon.
>>142977050>All the good potential hires were already off the carouselahem...
>>142977937who gets a HC job again first - him or Petrino?

The back shoulder no look picks by CPU against tosu and mich slaughtered me. Rankings are wonky as afFcs teams get injured every other play. A small difference in stats is massive in gameTeams do have their own identity in play style massively I'm two weeks away from postseason and if I win out it's impossible to know if I'm playoff bound bc upsets are the norm. Rank #15. Recruiting feels cheesable but I haven't really cheesed it bc old habits Transfer risk for Aiden Chiles is super high despite using him as a duel threat. I don't really understand the transfer risk stuff.
>>142978014Add Rolovich and Harsin to the list of radioactive coaches. Which pops up at a G5 school first?
>>142979526>HarsinWhat did he actually do at Auburn that would make him radioactive? Another coach that is definitely on the radioactive list is Todd Graham
>>142977937let him be an alcoholic in peace
>>142979647Even though most people want to pretend they didn't go insane about it, he still has anti-vaxxer stink on him despite being in compliance with the university's policy which itself was in compliance with federal requirements. There's also the weirdness of Auburn needing to fly an intern to Boise to repo the university SUV from Harsin's driveway.
>>142978014Petrino is in his 60s. Doubt he gets another P4 HC job. He could get another at an FCS school instantly but apparently isn't interested. The real question is if he's willing to be satisfied with winding up his career at a G5 and is that better to him than just being a coordinator at Arkansas. He might like it in Fayetteville and not want to move again.
>>142979696>There's also the weirdness of Auburn needing to fly an intern to Boise to repo the university SUV from Harsin's driveway.lmao thats kinda awesome

>>142981877It's worse in California. You basically have to be a scholarship athlete, a rich kid or a valedictorian to get into USC, UCLA or Calford. Even some of the G5 schools can be picky there. San Diego State has a 39% acceptance rate because so many kids want to go there since San Diego is an awesome place to live if you have subsidized student housing. California not having enough universities for the amount of high school students it graduates has fueled enrollment growth at other Western states because they send so many kids out of state.

You can't be some slacker to get into sdsu, cal poly, or half the UC system (at least if you're getting in by merit and not jewgolds).The major you declare also changes your admissions chances. Things like engineering tend to have 5-10% lower acceptance just because they have so much competition, and a good engineering degree is basically a cheat code into the middle/upper middle class.

>>142989817Set divisions were a fuckup that lasted far longer than they should have. If the SEC hadn't found that obscure passage in the NCAA rulebook that was intended for allowing the lower NCAA divisions to hold conference championships, no one would have been dumb enough to create conference divisions in FBS. Once the SEC exploited it to create a conference championship and everyone saw how lucrative it was, everyone wanted one and split into divisions regardless of if they made sense or not. The NCAA could have done away with that requirement but instead they stuck by it, only relaxing when the Big XII cried it was unfair to them.
>>142990004There were two issues with divisions at the time they existed. If they still existed there would be a third issue of divisions basically becoming their own conferences due to size, causing cross-division games to be very rare.>potentially imbalanced (huge problem in the B1G and the Big 12, not as much of a problem in the SEC but they still had stretches where one side was clearly superior, Pac 12 Norf was better than the Souf most years but 9 conference games with only 12 teams minimized problems since you only missed 2 teams each year)>scheduling could be really lucky or unlucky because conferences didn't want to acknowledge some programs are just better than others and thus you should schedule in a way that fairly distributes games vs the best teams instead of just throwing crap at the wallThe Big 12 could have solved the second problem by guaranteeing every Norf team had to play either Texas or Oklahoma. They played 3 cross-division games and the divisions had 6 teams so the math checks out, but the other Souf teams would have got butthurt at the conference officially recognizing who ran that division. The first problem is harder to solve because geography is responsible for it. You can separate the top teams like the B1G did with Leaders and Legends but they were relentlessly clowned for that plus it's hard to remember who is in what division with any setup that isn't based on geography.You can also blame Nebraska for a lot of this. If they had their shit together in the Big 12 the gap between Norf and Souf would not have been so large. If they had their shit together in the B1G the West wouldn't have been a tallest midget competition. Both conferences thought the cornfags would stop rolling around in their own feces eventually and they were both wrong.
>>142970351>>142972128Opt-outs weren't nearly as bad in the BCS era.

He's basically the equivalent of a millennial job-hopper. If Bama does well, he will leave them for the NFL.
>>142980856I wore a neck brace and huge pads in high school…I fear I’ve become old all of a sudden.
>>142976221Aside from Michigan, all of their conference losses were one score games last season. Nebraska is unironically a QB away from being a top tier Big 10 program. Rhule is known for recruiting great athletes which is a perfect compliment for what Nebraska usually gets in recruiting.
>>142990397Every job DeBoer has accepted was a clear step up on the career ladder, it's not like he is taking lateral moves to milk a raise or leaving town before he can be fired. You can't rule out the NFL but he has zero NFL experience and has never been connected to NFL jobs in carousel rumors. Alabama is a destination job, there is nowhere else left at this level for him to job hop. His alma mater is a lower division school so they're not a threat to poach him.

>>142990513>or leaving town before he can be firedThat's exactly what he's been doing though. We don't know if he's a good recruiter/culture guy or not because every FBS team he has ever coached has been with another coach's players.
>>142990548Uh huh
>>142990475Freshman QBs always suck. They get limited options and limited throwing zones and still are dealing with massive stadiums full of people and trying to make decisions. I won’t be surprised if they are a 5 win team
>>142990826Look, I wish Alabama would fall off as much as anyone else but DeBoer is doing exactly what you would need to do to sustain success. There has been zero dropoff in their recruiting after the biggest question when he was hired was "But can this Norfener recruit in da SECSECSEC?" Their class of 2025 recruiting floor is top 5 and they're more likely to finish 1st than 5th. If he was a bad culture guy he wouldn't have had instant success and exceeded his predecessors' accomplishments using their players.
>>142990900>Freshman QBs always suckNot always. Nebraska didn't even ask much of their QBs last season, the only issue was that all three of the QBs they played were turnover machines that regularly costed them games.
>>142990851The only reason college football is popular in the midwest and south is because there's nothing else to do. Literally nothing. People in the northeast are busy becoming filthy rich, and people on the west coast are busy living in paradise. The only thing the midwest/south has to offer is prairies/swamps, meth, extremely uncomfortable weather swings, poverty, rust, and incest.
>>142990901Like I said, summer recruiting means exactly nothing. Many of these players will end up going somewhere else. There's also the fact that Saban probably got most of these recruits interested in the first place, not DeBoer.>If he was a bad culture guy he wouldn't have had instant success and exceeded his predecessors' accomplishments using their players.Culture isn't something you can evaluate in fewer than 3 seasons, we don't know that he's got a good culture because he's flipping jobs every time the talent runs out. He and Grubb (I speculate more Grubb than DeBoer btw) are just great scheme autists that were able to leverage their players to good jobs.
>>142991218>People in the northeast are busy becoming filthy richNOT!
>>142990513He's had four jobsNAIAG5PAC12SECNow he's just going to stop? Dude has zero reason to stay in Tuscaloosa if he does good. "Destination" is something every fanbase deludes themselves with. Western Alabama is a shithole whose shortcomings can only be ignored by an obsessed autist.We know he did well at his NAIA school. Everywhere else he's parachuted in, made good use of what was handed to him (itself a valuable skill), and then quickly moved on. If it turns out he isn't a hidden recruiting genius, that makes moving on to the NFL even more likely as recruiting isn't part of the job there.But we really have no idea if he's a good coach or not against sustained high level competition. During his entire career he's only played against a couple of actual top level programs. Everything else has been Port-o-Potty tier. He has three wins over top ten teams during his entire career. This season he will have a strong roster, limitless resources, and inertia providing wind at his back. How long will that last? We don't know because he bounces out before it becomes apparent.
Since we're on the subject of DeBoer's last job...
>>142990901>>142991233Oh and another thing, just getting a highly rated recruiting class isn't a win in itself. As we saw with Ass-To-Mouth, you can easily bust on a lot of 4 & 5* players or just not utilize them if their isn't a good culture.Even Alabama hasn't been immune to this, their last good homegrown WR just transferred to Texas.
>>142991468What Fisch did with Arizona is unironically more impressive than anything DeBoer has ever done. I think the Huskies are in good hands.
>>142991233>Like I said, summer recruiting means exactly nothing. Many of these players will end up going somewhere elseThat's a huge cope. Recruiting flips are becoming rarer due to NIL, plus Bama is allowed to try to flip players away from other schools too. If you remove the top 3 recruits from their class it drops them from 2nd to 4th and there would still be a massive gap before you get to 5th place. Even though Saban did the groundwork with this class DeBoer still had to convince them to play for him. Why do you think scheme autist + top 3-5 classes is somehow doomed to fail?>>142991394You're underselling it a bit with those top 10 wins. They weren't against jobbers like Penn State. All three of those top 10 wins were against teams expected to compete for the title this year after returning a lot of talent (Oregon and Texas) plus Washington was supposed to lose each of those games. I'm sure ESPN's (((metrics))) would still say 2023 Oregon > 2023 Washington. This sounds a lot like the "He won't be able to recruit in the SEC" cope.>>142991472Recruiting doesn't guarantee championships but it is required for championships. It's retarded to use that against him and assume the worst before his team has even taken the field. You're moving the goalposts from "He can't recruit in the SEC" to "Well who cares if he actually can recruit in the SEC, he'll just fuck up A&M did."
>>142991468God I fucking despise what college handegg has become.
Could this save the Pac-12?
>>142991620Bama will fail because Deboer is not Roman Catholic thus cant fight off the hexes and curses placed on the program placed by the rest of cfb
>>142991761No. NDSU will never move up, it's a losing proposition for them.
>>142992020>He's a fucking protestantDisgusting
>>142989817My chips are not a joke
>>142991620>Why do you think scheme autist + top 3-5 classes is somehow doomed to fail?Because scheme autists don't do as well in CFB as head coaches, at least not in the long run. See: Gus Malzahn, Tom Herman, Chip Kelly>OregonWashington last season was literally the worst matchup for Oregon in the country. Lanning's defense is not designed to take on pass-heavy offenses with good offensive lines. >TexasFraudulent team that shouldn't have been in the playoff, did you not see the Oklahoma game? >Recruiting doesn't guarantee championships but it is required for championships.Michigan barely met the blue chip ratio threshold and Washington did not meet it. So not necessarily, but I get what you're saying. >You're moving the goalposts from "He can't recruit in the SEC" to "Well who cares if he actually can recruit in the SEC, he'll just fuck up A&M did."I didn't move the goalposts, I'm claiming both of those points. He hasn't signed a single recruit at Bama yet and we haven't gotten a chance to see if his recruits were well-scouted. And you can't just handwave the fact that Saban likely softened up a bunch of these recruits for DeBoer.
>>142992161Still think its funny both Belichik and Saban are Croats. What a random ethnicity to dominante both levels of football for 2 decades
>>142991761What saves the pac-2 is one of the following>they skim the top 6 MW teams and survive (45%)>they simply become the skinsuit MW and invite everyone (20%)>they invite top MW and AAC teams to become the best of the rest (20%)>they wait for an invite (10%)>other strange arrangements (less than 5%)This is, of course, assuming the ACC survives. If it dies, the PAC and ACC remnants can probably scrap up the remaining g5s with any value and create one big conference or two smaller conferences that become a comfy middle class of cfb. They might even be the landing spot for teams that get squeezed out of the B1g/sec/b12.

>>142997383>going 3-0 in 2023 as an underdog against top 10 teams is somehow a red flag (btw that's more top 10 wins than Ohio State, Oregon, Alabama and Texas had last year and as many as Michigan had)Evidence based on what DeBoer has done at every single job suggests he will succeed, as does the fact he has crushed the first doubt people had about his ability to recruit in the SEC. Each argument for DeBoer failing is based on conjecture and what ifs and assuming worst case scenarios will play out. Basically just people with Bama Derangement Syndrome hoping he'll somehow fall apart and forget how to coach football now that he is at Alabama.Also since you're so hung up on top 10 wins, part of the reason 2022 Oregon and Oregon State finished outside the top 10 is because they lost to Washington. Would it be more impressive if Washington lost those games and had "quality" top 10 losses instead of wins over #15 and #17?
>>142992452“I’m too poor means NO”
>>142992291A&M didn’t fuck up, they slid right in and functioned exponentially higher than anyone expected them to function. Problem is that they have a ton of money and want to buy success so they overspend. It worked for Jackie Sherril, but sanctions got them so they figure since sanctions are a thing of the past the wake of Pedo State not getting the death penalty for covering up boy bussies getting busted on camped by a coach they can open up their bank accounts and blow billions of dollars. Which lead us to where we are now. It’s all A&M’s fault, they gave the first million dollar and first hundred million dollar contract.

>>143010669That’s just an unsubstantiated theory.
>>143009587>>143010669CFP is one factor for opt outs, but the biggest factor is NFL money. Guys don't want to risk their career right before it starts. If you get injured bad enough it lowers your draft projection a couple rounds or forces you to spend your entire rookie season rehabbing that has a serious impact on your earning potential. Seniors without a future in the NFL still play in meme bowl games because they know it's the last time they'll ever put on the pads.

Reminder that multiple Michigan staffers WILL be going to fucking prison
>>143013842The "players don't care about non-playoff bowls" is debunked by the fact that seniors who aren't going to the NFL still play in them. The only players who opt out are about to be draft picks. CFP opt outs are coming. If you're getting a 1st or 2nd round grade playing for 12 seed Boise State are you going to risk that for a game with a 1% win probability at 5 seed Ohio State or Georgia?Another factor contributing to opt outs is there isn't a stigma around it anymore. McCaffrey was the first really notable opt out and he caught some shit in the media for skipping the Sun Bowl. The NFL didn't give a fuck, he was still drafted 8th overall. That showed everyone else thinking about opting out that GMs won't hold it against you.
>>143015006>Georgia at 41%That's a joke. If more of their fans attended college they'd be embarrassed about it and demand serious improvement. Alabama is at 93% so they can't claim it's impossible to be good at football while graduating your Tyrones.
>>143016098Alabama is at 93% because it's a fraudulent academic institution. Every single player on their roster would flunk out at UGA. That's why Jermaine Burton and Trezmen Marshall transferred there, they were borderline on academic eligibility.

>>143013842NFL has not always paid out the ass, and the NFL now does pay out the ass. At some point it started. Back then it was socially unacceptable to skip your bowl game, but Christian McCaffrey and Leonard Fournette and other high profile stars skipping them made it acceptable. They did this in part because Jaylon Smith lost $10 million going from a top 5 pick to a second round pick because he got injured in the Fiesta Bowl. Risking $10 million on an exhibition is an objectively bad business decision. Players skip bowl games because they are waking up to that fact. It has nothing to do with "we can't kind of argue we deserve a natty under extremely uncommon circumstances anymore," that's just newspapercuck and BCSfag coping with their retarded systems.
Did we start our online dynasty?

>>143020393You know chicken fried is a way to prepare deer steak and isn't actually chicken right?
>>143026083>Georgia is fraudulent AND it's students just that dumb.This coming from a fan of "we ain't come here to play school" school
>>143027952It's about fried chicken, not chicken fried cooking method. Using "chicken fried" instead of "fried chicken" as the lyric sounds better.

>>143028150The reason I know is because country songs constantly invoke things they associate with their lifestyle in order to be relatable to the listeners. Obviously he's talking about what most hunters would describe as the perfect meal at the end of a long day. He wouldn't be referencing a bucket of chicken unless it was a rap song. It is true they are prepared the same and have crossover. But you cannot say there was another version that mightve said he likes his chicken broiled or grilled because chicken isn't something associated with special occasions like venison is.

>>143026239Not if they try to be another CUSA. Just be the "Best of the West" G5. Forget being another CUSA coast-to-coast island of misfit toys conference. The Mountain West has a good strong identity and that's part of the reason why it is viewed in a better light than CUSA or even the American. Find a way to dump the worst members and replace them with P4 refugees that are in the west. Resist the temptation to grab anyone in the Central or Eastern time zones because "they're in a big media market" or other CUSA shit tier thinking.

>>143035699It's a weird conversation because every school bends their academic admission criteria for athletes. Some bend it more than others and some have low enough standards that the bending required is less than at better schools but everyone does it so it's strange when someone tries to chest thump that their school bends a bit less than other schools. The only P4 I can think of off hand that has a good argument for academics limiting their ability to recruit athletes is Georgia Tech. They bend entrance requirements just like everyone else but every undergrad, even athletes majoring in "Rocks for Jocks", have to be able to pass Calculus I. That might not seem like much of a barrier to the typical poster but lots of these guys have difficulty with basic addition and subtraction. Getting them through Calc I, even with an army of tutors, is impossible. That locks out a sizable chunk of potential recruits.Better schools like Stanford and Michigan are willing to bend more and have a larger number of special degree programs designed for the dumbest athletes. For most schools, regardless of academic strength, the rules are completely different if you're a talented athlete and it's dumb to pretend otherwise.In the G5, I'll point to the service academies as being the most hobbled when it comes to recruiting. Even if you know you're not going to go pro after your college playing days are over, the commitment required to serve time in the military limits who they can recruit.
